Yana Humphrey is an Operations Associate at Industrious Charlotte NoDa. Yana was born and raised in Greensboro, NC, but spent the last six years in Atlanta, GA. She likes to think of herself as someone with the heart of a country girl and the soul of a big city girl. She graduated from Spelman College with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. She operates best in life when she can be both the student and the teacher. When Yana is not working, she enjoys expressing herself through the creative world by modeling, acting, writing, and drawing. Before Industrious, she worked in both hospitality and customer service.
